On the fine sands of time,With bated breath, mine,I stagger, fall, get up fine,With might again, I climb.

Never distant, we were always near, Tell me! What drew us apart, dear? This, my very long-living terrible fear, Our paths apart, now difficult to bear. All those nights, I stayed wide awake, When you're deep asleep, not to break, Every birthday, we shared the cake, You dumped me! What was my mistake? From your... Continue Reading →
